Many electronic systems have the nature of a finite state machine (FSM). These are systems in which a desired output results from a certain sequence of inputs. For example, pressing a certain code on a keypad causes a door to unlock.
In this project, you will design a FSM that will turn on a fan and light when the correct code is entered, but will sound an alarm if the incorrect code is entered.
This is a design project. One consequence of this is that there is no one right solution. There are various ways to achieve the desired result, and you will need to decide on your own how to proceed. For example, you may use a BJT or a MOSFET to turn on a fan. Either one is acceptable, but once you choose, other aspects of the design will be affected.
